The College of IR held a hybrid event, First Year Retreat on November 23. The First Year Retreat is an opportunity for the first year students to think about their learning paths such as selecting a zemi group and writing a thesis through an interaction with graduates. It was a hybrid event this year to provide the option for remote participation, and graduates working in the governmental organizations, IT industry, automaker, consulting firm, and trading companies shared their experiences with students in both Japanese and English.

“I felt at ease because the event helped me to have an image of my college life,” “The information from the graduates was very helpful,” “I understood the importance of taking various chances provided by Ritsumeikan to create a successful college experience,” “I would like to make full use of learning opportunities at Ritsumeikan.” These are the feedback from the first year students. The event surely encouraged students who have been anxious about their college life due to the pandemic.

The College of IR has been providing students including those staying outside Japan due to the pandemic with various opportunities to learn both online and offline.

*The event was held in cooperation with the College of IR, Office of Student Affairs, and Career center.
